ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Kendrys Morales homered twice and tied a career high with six RBIs to lead the Seattle Mariners past the Texas Rangers 9-2 last night. Morales had a solo home run in the first and a three-run shot in the fifth off rookie Justin Grimm. The switch-hitter added a two-run single in the sixth to help Seattle win for the first time at Texas this season.
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) – Camille Little and Temeka Johnson led a balanced attack with 16 points apiece as the Seattle Storm snapped a three-game losing streak with a 69-60 victory over the Chicago Sky last night. The Storm shook off poor early shooting and an early 14-point deficit to catch and pass the Sky for a 34-31 lead just before halftime. Seattle maintained a double-digit lead through most of the fourth quarter.
